Dave Schramm, now in his seventh year on the staff at Utah, has resumed his initial charge as coach of the running backs. Schramm, who first managed the running backs from 2005-08, has also coached the quarterbacks, tight ends, and served as the recruiting coordinator and offensive coordinator during his time at Utah.

While successful in all of his endeavors, his track record with the running backs is the glossiest. He has coached two of only 10 players in Utah's 117-year football history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season: Quinton Ganther (1,120 yards in 2005) and Darrell Mack (1,204 yards in 2007). Ganther is a now sixth-year pro playing for Buffalo (he previously played for Seattle, Tennessee and Washington).

As the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach in 2009, Schramm tutored Jordan Wynn, then a true freshman, to MVP honors at the Poinsettia Bowl. That same year, Schramm coordinated an offensive unit that boasted first-team All-America offensive lineman Zane Beadles, who went on to become a second-round draft pick of the Denver Broncos--starting last season as a rookie.

In 2009, Schramm also oversaw only the second 1,000-yard rushing-receiving tandem in school history in Eddie Wide and David Reed. Wide set a school record for consecutive 100-yard rushing games (6) and Reed broke the school record for receiving yards in a season (1,188). Reed was taken in the fifth round of the NFL draft by Baltimore.

Schramm, who spent last season as the co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach, is a 23-year veteran of college coaching. He has 15 years of experience as a recruiting coordinator, including his first four seasons at Utah (2005-08). Schramm's 2006 and 2008 signing classes were touted as the top non-BCS conference classes in the nation by online recruiting service Rivals.com.

Schramm's term at Utah is his second-longest at any school. He spent 12 seasons at San Diego State from 1990-2001, where he was the recruiting coordinator for his first 11 years, and also coached the offensive line (1992), safeties (1993), tight ends (1994-96) and running backs (1997-2001).

In 2002, Schramm went to Southwest Texas State as the assistant head coach and running backs coach. There, he coached Lee Davis, the 2002 Southland Conference scoring leader and an all-conference player.

Schramm's next stop was Montana, where he coached the offensive tackles and tight ends, and was the recruiting coordinator from 2003-04. Montana went 12-3 in 2004 and advanced to the NCAA Division I-AA championship game. His players included first-team All-America tackle Dylan McFarland, who later played for the Buffalo Bills, and offensive tackle Cory Proctor, a first-team All-American by Collegesportsreport.com.

Schramm's first coaching job was at Patrick Henry High School in San Diego, where he was an assistant from 1984-87. He began his college coaching career in 1988 at Austin Peay coaching the running backs and tight ends. He spent a season as a graduate assistant at Nebraska in 1989 coaching the defensive secondary.
